• A. $5$
• B. $\frac{5}{10}$
• C. $\frac{5}{100}$
• D. $\frac{5}{1000}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\frac{5}{1000}$

The explanation for the correct option:

The expanded form of the given number $7.0459$ is

$7.0459=\left(7\times 1\right)+\left(0\times \frac{1}{10}\right)+\left(4\times \frac{1}{100}\right)+\left(5\times \frac{1}{1000}\right)+\left(9\times \frac{1}{10000}\right)$

As mentioned above, $5$ is in the thousandth place.

So the place value of $5=\frac{5}{1000}$

Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
